Michael Fassbender unwound from shooting six films in two years by cycling 5,000 miles

The Irish/German actor – who lives in London – made movies including 'Shame' and 'Haywire' in a short space of time so decided to get away from it all by getting on a motorbike and holidaying across Europe.

He said: "My dad and a friend and I took a motorcycle trip around Europe. We covered 5,000 miles. That was a good way to unwind for two months."-------------------Read more: More celebrity news from IrishCentral
